Dad Brag (please forgive me)

I've been watching my kids football practices over the past few weeks, but haven't had the time to give them some 1 on 1 coaching and the coaches don't have time do give much 1 on 1 instruction either.
I took some time before practice yesterday to give SonAdidas some tips on the D-line. Improved his stance, worked on his first two steps, getting his shoulders turned when he's going through the line, and STAYING LOW. When they started scrimmaging, he got a hand on the QB on the first 5 plays. Ended up getting 3 sacks and a forced fumble in what equated to maybe a quarter worth of playing. He's pretty shy, but after that forced fumble, he got up and started "hype dancing".
I think he finally "gets it".
The moved him over to offensive line and he was blocking the heck out of the guys.
I was a proud daddy.
I totally ignored my daughter's practice on the other field. After her practice, she shows up with a WWF belt on, because she was named "Practice Champion". Her coach was hyping her up and saying that she was blocking like a bad MF. She says the secret to blocking is "to imagine that the person across from you just destroyed every toy that you love." Works for me.
They both got ice cream on the way home.
TLDR: I'm bragging on my kids for having good football practices.

Nice. Son of Greenr (littlest guy) scored a goal in soccer

last night. It was the wrong goal, but it was glorious for a 4 year old. He dribbled a couple times and drilled it into the net. Super pumped which was nice since the first 15 minutes of his first ever practice was spent crying and asking to just go home.

Similar here.
Daughter has had some crying moments and refusing to play moments, so this was a complete 180* turn. I heard her talking to my mom last night on the phone and all she wanted to talk about was football.
Seeing the kid blocking my son getting reamed out by the coaches was way more satisfying that hearing my boy getting reamed out all practice for missing blocks. Then when he switched to offense, the coaches started reaming out the DL for not getting any pressure.

Still an addict though.

Pro-tips.....
If delivered through a c-section, be prepared for the smell. If natural, be prepared for the "transition". And be prepared to become a coffee drinker, if not already.

Lol, got a few more years before my first of three "talks"

Wife of, who was raised in an Amish home, absolutely refused to even give the cursory birds and bees talk until like 4th grade. Prior to that I am to assume son of didn't know where babies came from. Oh, but I was validated when he informed her he knew EXACTLY how babies are made. Learned from his friends from school. I told her by 4th grade he would know. She said I was full of it.
I plan to be on the front end of the "real talk" because she wouldn't have that until he is a senior in high school if she had her way. By then I was -3 years a virgin.

his old man. He'll be fine. Cold as ice and smart as ####, just like his mamma. Middle son I'm worried about. He's already had girls fighting over him in preschool. He's all heart and it will get broken I'm afraid. He's more like me. Jury still out on 2yo.....
